Bandai Namco has revealed the newest character for Jump Force, the Shonen Jump-based arena fighter bringing in characters from the magazine's long history. This time, both Himura Kenshin and Makoto Shishio from the 1994 manga Ruroni Kenshin are joining in for the crossover fighting game.

In Rurouni Kenshin, protagonist Kenshin was a former soldier/assassin renown for his swordsmanship, but was used by the military primarily to kill. As a consequence, a more adult Kenshin created a special blade with a blunt side facing forward so that he could defeat opponents without murdering them. Shishio is the primary villain from the manga's Kyoto arc, covered head-to-toe in bandages after being burned by the government.

While there is no video yet, presumably both characters will play with sword styles hewing close to their anime adaptations.

Insomniac’s Spider-Man is being talked about as game of the year for many, so any excuse to play more is a good one. Fortunately, Insomniac has given us plenty of reasons to keep playing, with a series of DLC packs spaced only a month apart.

The second set of DLC, Turf Wars, picks up right where The Heist left off. When Hammerhead – an old fashioned gangster with a metal head – makes a play to become the city’s new crime boss, Spider-Man swings into action to save the day.

Fortunately, this DLC is full of good moments and interesting twists. The dialogue and the narrative maintain the level of quality on par with the base game, and I like how Insomniac plays with the power dynamics between Spider-Man and police captain Yuri Watanabe, as Yuri wrestled with how far she’s willing to go to take down New York’s dastardly villains. Oddly enough, much of the story feels standalone, so you don’t need to play The Heist (or even finish the main game) to play this, but I’d still recommend doing so.

Way back in 2015, Valve announced a multi-pronged initiative to make it easier to get PC games on a user's TV or in another room in the house. One way to do this was through the Steam Link, a streaming box that uses a Steam account to take inputs and stream back video of a game so players who didn't like sitting at a computer could still engage with their Steam library. Now, after several years on the market, Valve is quietly discontinuing the product and depleting its remaining stock.

The news comes from a concise post on the Steam forums by senior software engineer Sam Lantinga, stating that the hardware is almost completely gone from Europe and North America and not explicitly announcing intentions to replenish it. He finishes the three-sentence post by talking about the company's intention to support the Steam Link app, a software-based alternative to the Steam Link that is not supported on Apple mobile devices.

The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part is coming to theaters in February, but Warner Bros. Picture released a trailer today that gives us a glimpse of what to expect. The fasted-paced trailer proves that there are plenty of laughs to be had in a post-apocalyptic Lego world.

Chris Pratt, reprising his role as Emmet Brickowski, jets off to recover Lucy after she is kidnapped by aliens. In one of the best moments in the trailer, Emmet meets Rex Dangervest, a galaxy-defending archaeologist cowboy who trains raptors. Check out Chris Pratt as the hilarious amalgamation of all of his best roles, with some Indiana Jones and Master Chief thrown in for good measure, in the trailer below.

Alongside Chris Pratt as Emmet, Elizabeth Banks as Lucy (aka Wyldstyle), Will Arnett as LEGO Batman, Nick Offerman as Metal Beard, and Alison Brie as Unikitty are all coming back for the sequel. New characters Queen Watevra Wa-Nabi, Sweet Mayhem, and Ice Cream Cone will be played by Tiffany Haddish, Stephanie Beatriz, and Arturo Castro, respectively.

Sid Meier’s Civilization VI: Gathering Storm is the next expansion in the long-running turn-based series about world domination. It offers nine new leaders, eight new civilizations, seven new world wonders, as well as a variety of new units, districts, buildings, and improvements.

The expansion also unleashes mother nature's wrath with new environmental effects and an ecosystem that responds to your choices. Your decisions could trigger world-ravaging natural disasters like floods, storms, and volcanoes. These aren't all bad though; once the devastation has past, these events allow the earth to flourish. Fans can expect extensions for the Technology and Civics trees with a future era, as well as two novel scenarios: Black Death and War Machine.

Black Death features the titular plague which decimated European populations during the Middle Ages. Gathering Storm will task you with leading the effected countries, limiting the casualty count, and keeping the economy from collapsing.
